Ahhh, December. Here you are again. With your promise of excessively cold temperatures, snow flurries when I would rather you waited until January, and spending lots of money on Christmas sillinesses.
You also bring cozy cuddling by the fireplace, wearing my favorite scarves and hats, and the anticipation of a new year, so close I can almost taste it. Okay, that’s probably the coffee I haven’t finished yet.
Leaving November behind is like taking a deep breath and letting the trials and the joys of that whole month roll off my back, down my arms, and onto the floor into a shiny pile of precious little lessons.
I learned that I CAN finish National Novel Writing Month if I have the time, but I did not actually have that much time. I had about half the time, which is why I got halfway there. But I am serenely okay with that. (AND we still beat Chris Baty!)
I learned that I have a lot to learn about business still, but that what I already know is valuable to a lot of other people.
I learned that making friends who come over to hang out with your family is more awesome than I thought it would be. (I LOVE YOU MATT AND SARAH!)
I learned that I am still doing that thing where I give myself wayyy too much to do, but I am actually learning to be nicer to myself in that regard. I actually took Thanksgiving weekend, the entire four days, COMPLETELY OFF. This is a first for me since, I don’t know, back in the spring?
I learned how to eat better, thanks to Nathalie (the Raw Foods Witch!), and have been amazed at the way my body feels with only some small changes in my diet. I am eating way more greens now and feeling a hell of a lot better.
I learned that our house is NOT BABYPROOFED ENOUGH for this crawling, wiggling, cruising, ridiculously happy baby that will be one year old next month.
What did you learn?

what it’s like to be a minion and like it
And you make such a great minion! :) Thanks for being there to work with, Michael. I appreciate you.
Oh! Me. Me. Me. Pick me! I want to go!
I learned that making the right, strong business-owner decision is hard. And that even the people who you think are great clients might try to work you over – if you let them.
I learned that I’ve taught my 11 year-old better than I thought and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself as a mom. (11 y/o says, “Mom, this lady named Rachael wants to friend me on FaceBook. Is it ok? Do you know her?”)
I learned that there is divine intervention in even the radio show that seems silly for me to be listening to for it will empower me to help a twitter friend three weeks later.
I learned that not only can you write like Havi but you wear it well!
Create an amazing day!

You are definitely a great mom, and that is part of what makes it hard AND what makes it easy for you to be a strong business-owner. Have faith in your business! You’re doing better than you think. :)
I learned that I push my body harder physically than I thought (woo working out).
I also learned that getting motivation to work on projects is harder than it seems.
Dude, that motivation is a tricky thing, isn’t it? But it’s awesome when you figure out that it IS, because then you can figure out what to do about it.
